Was just remembering a project I was involved with, some years back.
A re-enacting group I was with in Wyoming, took the initiative to contact veterans from throughout the state. We told them we wanted to video tape their stories, relating to the service of their country. These videos would not be edited or sensored in any way. They were encouraged to speak freely. We made a particular effort to record the stories of WW I and WW II vets, as they are getting more scarce. When the project was completed, the video tapes were donated to the University of Wyoming library.
Any Marines out there with some time to kill, might wish to undertake a similar project....recording the unvarnished stories of fellow Leathernecks. Maybe the new Marine Corps Museum would archive the videos for posterity.
Any thoughts?
